The Heavens: I stopped being a human being from Storm Scarlet

Chapter 263 The Spirit of the Wild Dies in Battle!

White City.

"Halald's mammoth army is actually dispatched!" Boromir's expression turned extremely ugly.

Although they call the warlike peoples in the borderlands Dongyi and Nanman, none of these ethnic group countries are easy to provoke, and all of them possess unique skills, are brave and good at fighting, and have many strange magic and armies.

"The orc army with explosive weapons is also very difficult." Aragorn looked around, unable to think of a way to break the situation for a while, "We are really too reluctant to rely on ourselves."

"Don't worry, I believe that Lord Skull King will finish off the Angmar Witch King soon and come here." The skeleton giant standing in front of everyone came out with the unwavering voice of General Skeleton.

At this moment, the giant's arms were covered with scorched black marks after the explosion, and the forearm with the most hit surface still had clearly visible potholes!

And those unsuspecting Gondor soldiers fell to the ground in large areas, either with their foreheads open or the back of their heads missing, as if they had been blasted by air-to-surface missiles, at least hundreds of people were killed or injured.

It can be seen that Saruman, the pioneer of industry, has made greater progress in the research of black powder. Perhaps he also enchanted the explosives, such as the blasting spell that strengthens the piercing ability.

wow~

Seeing that his comrades were wounded, the surrounding skeleton soldiers gathered one after another, all fused into one, and their overall quality was greatly improved.

"The trebuchet, yes, use the trebuchet to attack the giant elephant!" Gandalf had an idea, turned around and shouted.

But he was one step too late. There were obviously smart people in the Orc army. The trolls launched another round of boulder fall first. More than a dozen big stones aimed at the few seven or eight trebuchets in Baicheng.

When the smoke and dust rose, there were less than three trebuchets, and the once glorious city became a battle-damaged version with thick smoke billowing and screaming.

Even if the civilians wanted to escape, they didn't have a safe passage, because the White City was backed by the White Mountains, and outside the city was an unobstructed plain, and even a pigeon flying out would be shot down by the Orc army.

What's more, the current world war is out-and-out, and the entire eastern part of Gondor has been reduced to a war-torn purgatory. How can there be a safe shelter?

"There is only a dead end in the battle of trapped beasts," the voice of the skeleton general came from inside the giant, "We must take the initiative to break the situation, otherwise there is really no hope!"

"I understand too, but how can I break it?" Boromir spat out a bloody tooth from his mouth, and his eyes were like a wolf in a cage full of murderous aura.

hum!

Aragorn pulled out the Human Emperor's Saber from his waist, and the confusion disappeared in a flash, replaced by perseverance, "We are 'broken', of course we are the first to kill the enemy army at this time, as for whether we will die or not. It doesn't matter, what matters is whether we can fight for humanity and Middle Earth."

The skeleton giant who was ravaging the orcs looked back and said in a gratified tone, "As expected of you, you are the emperor of the people. You and I have the same thoughts."

"Isn't it just to lead the charge? I'm super good at it!" Gimli swung his tomahawk eagerly.

Suddenly, several people found that Legolas had come out on his white horse, and said to Gimli, "Compete and see who kills more enemies."

"Oh? Then I can't lose to the elves!" Gimli smiled and rode a bighorn argali sent by a lonely mountain. Although this mount is not as tall as a tall horse, it has a muscular chest and limbs. The corners are big enough to crush a human chest easily.

The conversation came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at each other tacitly, and gave each other an encouraging smile.

At this moment, everything in the communication between men is silent, a look and a movement explain everything.

"Arnault's passing glory is inherited by us, everyone, let us old bones fight a bloody way for the younger generation!"

The Skeleton General roared loudly, and everyone in the Skeleton Legion answered with all their might.

The giant skeleton strode forward with long and thick legs, leading Aragorn and others into the overlapping enemy troops, galloping towards the enemy camp and Harald's army in the rear.

Bang!

Bang!

A giant skeleton in its full state doesn't need to deliberately attack at all, and can send away dozens of orcs with a random sweep and kick of its legs.

With him clearing the way, it was like entering no man's land, followed by the elite army led by Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Boromir. The chaotic human army regrouped and began to form a defensive formation in an orderly manner, and some of them bravely joined Aragorn and the others.

But here is a cruel battlefield, not to mention that the enemy is far stronger than imagined, courage is a good medicine, and it is also a glass of poisonous wine.

Whoosh!

The orc army once again shot hundreds of explosive arrows.

Even though the skeleton giant resisted by a third with its body, dozens of people died tragically in an instant. Metal balls sputtered out, penetrated their skulls, and shattered their brains.

Obviously, the explosive arrows this time are different from the previous ones. Saruman's thinking is extremely advanced and extensible, and he even created a Middle-earth version of the steel ball grenade.

No, it should be Steel Ball RPG.

"Roar--"

With a roar, the giant skeleton suddenly sped up and jumped towards the position of the orc army.

The strong orcs who were about to attack for the third round suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and hurriedly drove the wargs to dodge.

With a bang, the ground trembled.

Many wolves were sent flying, and the orcs above followed.

In an instant, orcs from all directions set fire to besiege the skeleton giant. The commander of Mordor immediately followed his survival instinct and retreated, causing the formation of the army to become loose.

And Aragorn and the others lived up to expectations, seized this excellent opportunity to break through, smashed through the encirclement in one fell swoop, and used blood and corpses to forcibly penetrate the largest phalanx.

They can't rest there yet, because the real battle has just begun.

500 meters away is the giant elephant army of the Harad people!

Whether it is Orcs or trolls, the threat of siege is not as good as those behemoths with ferocious fangs.

Once the giant elephants came to the gate of the city, no matter what material the city wall was made of, their size would collapse if they were pushed hard twice.

Therefore, Aragon's goal is to get rid of the Mammoth Legion.

"What the hell, why are these beasts so big?" Gimli couldn't help swallowing.

"Cut off their heels, be careful of the Haradians above." Aragorn quickly made a judgment.

Each giant elephant carried a wooden tower post on its back, and there were seven or eight Harad archers. No, seeing Aragorn and the others, they all started to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

Whoosh!

……

Rohan.

Royal capital, Edoras.

After the cavalry army had finished resting, Theoden glanced at the Spirit of the Wild lying not far away, and then at the destroyed canyon, feeling somewhat strange.

However, he was still very grateful to that King Li, who once again showed kindness to Rohan. As a king, he must find an opportunity to repay him, he thought.

Dusk has come, and the sky will be dark.

Amidst the concern and respect of the people watching them off, the army marched southward in mighty strength.

However, just after advancing not far, and within sight of Edoras, the army stopped.

"Is that the sunset?" Iomund looked suspiciously at the mountains in the west.

Behind the gray mountain ridge, a large group of shining red light is rising. It is said to be a sunset glow, but there is such a dark red and strange glow.

"I don't feel well, Array!" Theoden followed his sensitive instincts.

And the spirit of the wilderness also emerged from the ground with a skeleton head, staring at the increasingly intense and fiery "sunset glow" as if facing a formidable enemy.

The war horses began to feel uneasy, as if they could smell the approaching crisis.

"what is that?"

On the high platform of Edoras' palace, Eodwin spoke in horror.

She was in a higher position, so she had a wider field of vision. At this moment, several people, including the prince and princess, all saw a huge figure wrapped in raging flames.

Carrying the flames that rendered the night, it stepped up to the top of the mountain step by step, looking down on the Rohan cavalry fiercely.

In the blink of an eye, the entire world was filled with scorching hot breath, and the majestic evil force continued to spread, and the brave war horses' limbs became weak, and they retreated again and again.

"How come?" Theoden's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What kind of creature is that?" Iomund asked in a trembling voice. As the general of soldiers and horses, he actually found himself trembling uncontrollably, and the fear in his heart gushed out uncontrollably.

"The powerful evil spirit that exists in the ancient books, the Balrog that lives in the flames and shadows." Theoden choked up.

Boom~ boom~

The Balrog walked down the hill step by step, revealing a burly body of 20 meters under the moonlight.

A body with a humanoid structure, a skull-like face and huge demonic horns, dark red flames emanating from the whole body, making the skin look like red-hot rock coke, and the sideburns on the neck are burned most vigorously, as if wearing a bright Fireflow cloak.

Boom~ boom~

Every time it takes a step, the cavalry army will take a step back, and the unified formation is quietly disrupted, and the morale of the army is instantly unstable.

"Sigh~"

Theoden and Eomund shuddered uncontrollably when they saw the terrifying demon face clearly.

Don't blame them, even Gandalf, who is the demigod Maya, would show despair in his eyes when he saw it.

The Balrog family used to be the demigod Maia at the same level as Sauron and Gandalf. They were corrupted by the evil power of Morgoth into fallen gods who mastered the evil flame.

As a former protoss, the Balrog's fighting power is unquestionable. It can be said to be one of the most powerful legions under Morgoth's seat. In terms of record, the dragons can't match it.

After all, the flightless Balrog often rode dragons into battle.

After Morgoth was imprisoned and exiled, the Balrog was also defeated and killed one by one. Only a few bereaved dogs hid in the dark corners of Middle-earth, waiting for the dark forces to rise again.

And this Balrog, from the abandoned Moria mines of the dwarves, has been hiding underground.

In fact, Chu Xin went to the Moria Mine and slaughtered the Orcs that occupied it. However, he went all the way to the deepest point, and he didn't find the Balrog that appeared in the movie. Instead, he smelled Residual smell of old acquaintance.

In fact, it was Sauron who ordered Saruman to go to the mines of Moria. After all, the Balrog was on the same level as Sauron, and asking the Witch King of Angmar to be an envoy would most likely return in vain.Saruman successfully persuaded the Balrog to come out of the mountain, and handed over Sauron's gift - the heart of the Balrog. After eating the heart of the same kind, the Balrog of Moria's strength increased greatly, and his height also increased from more than ten meters to 20 meters.

The Balrog happened to absorb the energy of the Balrog Heart in Rohan, and the movement made by the Spirit of the Wild caught its attention.

"Humans? Together with your ugly nests, you and other ants will be reduced to ashes in my flames, and there are even dirty undead creatures, accepting my scorching baptism together!"

The Balrog, who hadn't killed for a long time, suddenly had killing intent. It changed from walking in an orderly manner to running at a high speed. In addition, it was on a downhill road, and the momentum it erupted in an instant was simply terrifying.

"Nest?" Theoden looked back and immediately understood what he said.

The undulating outline in the distance is the capital of Edoras, isn't it?

In an instant, the expressions of the cavalrymen changed dramatically, and a determination to see death as home appeared in their eyes.

Fear, panic, and trembling are all transformed into courage and protection.

Are you scared?

Of course he was terrified to death, but he was even more afraid that the Balrog would rush into the house and slaughter wantonly!

So, no further backsliding!

"Likes, line up." Theoden roared in a deep voice.

Swish swish!

A pair of long spears came out obliquely, forming a charge formation.

But the spirit of the wilderness shot first.

rumbling~

I saw it drilled into the ground, and suddenly made a dull and loud noise. Accompanied by tremors, the rock and soil under Balrog's feet exploded.

In the smoke, the huge skeletal body suddenly rushed over, waving its two sharp claws alternately.

In terms of size, the Spirit of the Wilderness is larger than Balrog, but in terms of deterrence and momentum, Balrog completely crushes it.

boom--

The flames expanded and burned all the earth and rocks, and the vision was restored.

With a "clang", the lava fire sword pulled out by the Balrog's right hand severed the entire right arm of the Wild Spirit.

Bang!

The Wild Spirit didn't care about it, and slashed on the Balrog's arm with his left claw, leaving three slender scratches on the surface.

Boom!

The Balrog's left fist was clenched tightly, and a heavy blow hit the abdomen and spine of the Wild Spirit.

In an instant, the dense gaps cracked and spread, and the spirit of the wilderness let out a mournful roar.

Before it could react, the Balrog, who was experienced in fighting, held the fire sword instead, and slashed hard, cutting off half of the wild spirit's ribs.

Then, the Balrog stepped forward and crushed the Wild Spirit under him instead.

"It's a great honor for a filthy thing like you to die at my hands."

While mocking arrogantly, the Balrog hugged the struggling head of the Wild Spirit with both hands, and pulled out a huge white skull with great force with two big arms.

Not only that, it also crushed the wild spirit's breastbone with one foot, and the bone residue was all over the hillside.

Huhu~

The burning eyes of the wild spirit gradually went out, losing its vitality.

The Balrog held the skull and looked at it for a while, then passed his left hand through its mouth, put it on his forearm, and used it as a shield.

"Your head is worth more than your life."

And it completely ignored the Rohan cavalry 2000 meters away, and adjusted the comfort of the "shield" on its own.

This scene undoubtedly pierced deeply into the hearts of Theoden and the others like a needle.

Anger, aggrieved and other emotions surged out of their brains, making their blood boil.

"Avenge it!" Eomund said ferociously.

"Old man, don't worry." Theoden suddenly patted Eomund on the shoulder, "You lead a team back to Edoras as quickly as possible, and organize the evacuation of the people. We will stay and stop the Balrog. You buy time."

"What are you talking about? I am the Generalissimo, so I am the one who wants to stay!" Eomund naturally refused.

"Don't forget that I am the king of Rohan! Eomund obeys the order and returns to the city immediately to protect the people, and don't let Theod and the children be in danger!" Theoden was furious and snapped.

Eomund clenched his fists, gritted his teeth with red eyes, "Guards, come with me!"

Watching the hundreds of people leaving at high speed, Theoden finally heaved a sigh of relief, his gaze changed from relief to determination.

"Everyone, do you know the origin of the Balrog? It is a corrupt god, and today we are going to fight against God!"

He took off the red cloak on his back, revealing a silver gray armor, then drew out his long sword and raised it high.

"kill--"

Theoden took the lead, followed by thousands of murderous troops.

Throughout the large and small wars in Rohan, almost all the generals, marshals and even the king took the lead in charging, standing in front of the most dangerous army without hesitation. They did not need words to prove that their every move had already written a hymn of courage.

"A mantis' arm is like a car, vulnerable to a single blow."

The Balrog raised his eyes and pulled out the fire sword inserted in the leg bone of the Spirit of the Wilderness, and jumped straight down from a cliff.

thump—

Dozens of tons of Balrog fell heavily on the center of the cavalry army, and hundreds of soldiers and horses died in a single encounter.

"There is no retreat in today's battle. As long as there is one survivor, it will be a bloody battle to the end!" Theoden turned back, charged first, and slashed at the Balrog's heel with his sword.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen rushed forward like a pack of desperate bloodthirsty wolves with red eyes.

"A mere human dares to point their sword at me!"

The Balrog plunged his sword into the ground fiercely, and then spun it vigorously, the billowing flames spread like a wind, and all the people and horses that were contaminated were turned into coke that shattered at the touch of a touch.

Even so, the cavalry continued to charge, charge, and charge one after another. Regardless of whether they were injured or not, they swung their swords and spears again and again, leaving insignificant marks on Balrog's body one after another.

"Theojed, when the sun rises tomorrow, you will be the next King of Rohan." Theoden faced the fiery sword without hesitation, and threw the last blow of his life.

When he was burned by the blade, the royal spear that came out of his hand pierced Balrog's left eye like an afterimage.

After an unknown amount of time, the blood-colored sky turned pale.

The Balrog stood alone on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, destroying the bones of the cavalry with a look of resentment.

It was so humiliated that it was delayed for most of the night by a group of ants, and even blinded by a human being.

boom!

boom!

Endless anger was squeezed in his heart, and clusters of flames violently gushed out of his pores.

"Kill~ I need more kill~"

wow——

The Balrog's back shook, and a pair of huge black and red flesh wings spread out.

It flew towards Edoras, leaving behind wreckage.

None of the cavalry, including King Theoden of Rohan, survived, and all died heroically.

But their sacrifices were not meaningless. When the Balrog arrived at Edoras, he found that it was already an empty city.

Whoosh!

It ignited the entire King of Rohan in a rage, and the raging fire went from bottom to top until it engulfed the palace crouching on the top of the mountain.

Next, the Balrog flew southward, after all it had promised Sauron that it would destroy a dragon that had betrayed Lord Morgoth.

In a hidden valley, thousands of people crowded together wearily and sadly.

Eomund looked at the rising thick black smoke, his eyes were red and he clenched his teeth.

He turned around and knelt down in front of his nephew, "Theojed, from today onwards, you are the king of Rohan. That moment." (End of this chapter)
